How-to

Keep Your Business On Top Of Emerging Trends Owning a business is a very time-consuming task. It engulfs you whole. You need to keep track of the critical work such as customer service, managing staff, tracking the budget, marketing and sales. This leaves you with little time and energy to focus on the larger trends currently occurring in the industry you are in. Staying on top of the continuously developing industry trends is extremely important for the business to stay relevant and experience success. It will help you innovate, adjust the market forces in your favour, and strengthen your business process. This is not a difficult thing to do. In order, to properly be able to stay on top of trends you just need to:

Subscribe to Business Journals, Magazines, and Newspapers Subscribing to the publications that report the development of the hottest trends could mean big dividend results for your business. Keep these publications where you spend most of your time so that you can easily access them and make sure to flip through them on a daily basis.

Engage on social media One of the fastest ways to connect with your customers is through the use of social media. Through LinkedIn and Facebook, you can exchange tips with those within your industry. You can also speak to your customers directly, creating polls for them to relay their opinions and tastes. Google+ has communities where you can find what’s trending and ask other small business owners about industry patterns they are seeing. Network to find gatherings of others in your industry where you can discuss business trends with other people.

Delegate You can employ the members of your team to keep their eyes and ears open. Start a company-wide email thread where team members can share interesting findings or articles.

Keep an eye on your competitors If you have spotted a trend and are not sure whether it will catch on, observe your competitors and what they are doing with that trend. Sure, staying ahead of the competitors is necessary, but knowing what they are up to is also very important.

Scan and engage in forum and discussion boards

MONEY

Scan an applicable forum or discussion board to be alerted about the possible changes taking place in your industry. Often it happens that engaging in a discussion group which is made up of professionals can be very enlightening.

Talk to your customers

You can employ a research and development team which could go into the field and speak to your customers. Devise well thought-out and descriptive questionnaires that you can use to get a comprehensive idea of how your customers think and what they want. There are a lot of sources which will give you deep insight into all the trends that are emerging and how you can be a part of it. Or in fact, make them a part of your business to be able to stay ahead of the game. Put a creative spin on the trends and you can be the one to start a trend yourself for others to follow!

How to Be Unfazed...

Any business whether new, old, big, or small will face competition. And competition is always daunting. Competition is something that gives your customer choice while also being something that threatens to push your business out of the industry. Every day, week, month, or year a new competition will rise from the corners of the city, country, or globe and try to dismantle you.

Everybody loves their business. They have worked hard on it; their sweat and blood has gone into that business. But the customer does not see that. All they look for is a brand that can offer them their desired product of high quality and low price. You will even have instances of businesses erupting with a completely different way of producing a product that you have already mastered in manufacturing. Or they might be offering the service or a product with an advanced twist that you can’t acquire in your own product. Take Nokia and Apple for example; there was once a time that Nokia’s phones were the most reliable and in demand ones on the market. Then Apple came along with their smartphones and Nokia went down in popularity. But the thing is, this is a norm in the business world and you cannot just shut down your business because you are intimidated by the competition. You need to, instead, learn to find a way around it. The first thing to do, is to actually look at your competition .You need to see how they operate, what is their organisational culture, what are they offering and where do they stand in the industry? It isn’t expected that all competitors will fare well. But do make sure to learn from them, vnm magazine 06

...by New Competition about their ideas and what makes them stand out. The second thing is your research. Either hire people who are good with research or learn the art of doing good research yourself. Your research skills will help you learn a lot about your surroundings. You will get to know who your competitors are and what are they offering. You will learn about the industry you are in, how is it evolving, how many competitors it is garnering, how many start-ups it is introducing, and what do the customers think about it. And lastly, you will get to know about your customers. You will get to know about the changes in the taste and lifestyle that they are experiencing, and you will get to know whether they like your competition, why and why not.Thirdly, you need to find a way to be unique to your customers. You need to find a competitive advantage, a feature of your product or service that only you serve, and advertise it to the fullest. When a lot of brands are identical the customer may find it difficult to choose, and might end up picking one at random, but if you have a competitive advantage then there is a sure chance the customer will come to you. Lastly, develop your brand online.

Digital media has become the platform for dozens of businesses to prevail. You need to come up with creative ideas and employ different digital media bases to place your business in the public eye. When faced with new competition all you have to do is remain calm and focus on how you can use this to your advantage. vnm magazine 07

There are many important elements to running and managing a firm. No matter what size the organisation is, the leaders have several roles to play. They need to ensure that things run smoothly and that everyone does their jobs. Effectively managing your staff can be the key to success for the company. Disorganization and confusion are irritating and can be extremely bad for business. It is basically like a formula: increasing chaos equals decreasing profit. The key to avoiding that is good office management.

Regardless of what your current organisational structure looks like, its way of functioning should work towards empowering its leaders. Successful leaders are able to perform to their full potential when they work in an environment which fosters creativity and doesn’t stifle progress.

vnm magazine 08

p i h rs

This occurs when less emphasis is placed on the hierarchical structure and more on empowering the right people in the right place. This sort of empowerment enhances the performance of the leaders and encourages behaviour that earns the respect of followers. This type of respect allows the leaders to build partnerships within the organisation that encourages open, two-way communication and fosters a sense of loyalty.

There are a lot of ways you can have an organisation so well structured that it can reach its full potential. True ownership occurs in the organisation when there is contribution and sharing from the bottom up and system-wide. If the ownership is not shared then the structure is self-serving and not at all empowering. People wish to have ownership of their work and sense of belonging to a great cause. Ownership holds everyone on the team accountable for their decisions and actions. Owners need to ensure that the employees are serving in the right roles and are given ownership of their work. Do make a point of celebrating their successes to keep them motivated. You define the organisational structure rather than it defining you. Your organisational structure should be a blueprint of the open boundaries to grow and succeed. It should give the people the freedom to do their tasks the way THEY deem fit. Let the employees be more flexible about how, when, where, and with whom they work. Involve them in the decision making process and designing and managing of their work tasks. The support needed to successfully achieve organisational goals is gained via trust.

You need to develop relationships within the organisation through trust and commitment. The organisational structure can enhance or impede factors such as open communication, management follow through, accountability, consistency, and concern for employee interests, all of which foster a sense of trust. Building trust needs to be considered a deliberate action and not something that should be left to chance. This is the most important aspect; your organisation needs to have a clear vision.

Without any vision, you would remain stagnant. You need to design a clear organisational vision that will help guide your organisation towards a goal. Create a well-organised and structured business plan and communicate it to the entire staff. Once you have done that follow it up with plans. You can make achieving a thriving organisational structure easy for yourself. It will allow the leaders to be encouraged to perform better and ignite organisation-wide harmony.

YOU CAN BE A BUSINESS WOMAN AND A GREAT MOTHER Running a business is not easy at all.

But then trying to take care of a family and running a business seems like a nearly impossible task to do. Young children need continuous attention and care from their parents. This is when the child is highly dependent on them.

Not being around the child/children can have a negative impact on their behaviour. Also being a new mother or mother, in general, makes one wish to be around their offspring all the time. But when you have a business to take care of too, you have a lot on your plate and it is natural to feel overwhelmed by it all.

When you are walking down the street with your 3- year old, they might see something bright across the street and without looking here or there they may rush to get to the bright object.

Or imagine a stranger pulls up in front of your child, luring them in with a chocolate or an ice cream---one needn’t Similarly, your business is almost as fragile enough to get into the wrong hands or go down the wrong path if you don’t keep your eye on it.

Hence it makes sense why managing your business and being a good parent is such an incredibly difficult thing to do.

But abandoning even one of them is not a choice in your life. You love them both, have nurtured them and spent your days and nights in bringing them into this world. As impossible as this notion seems, managing a successful business and bringing up good kids is possible.

Lots of entrepreneurial mothers tend to share their advice and tips on to run a business alongside taking care of their family.

vnm magazine 010

You need to learn to say no. As your business will grow you will get a lot of calls for professional reasons asking you to invest time and energy…things that you are already short on! You will need to say no so that you can give some time to your children and not be all about the business. If you say yes to every request or opportunity then you would be busy 24/7 with no time to spare for your family. Try to have childcare that is reliable and learn to outsource household work intelligently.

There will be times when you need to attend a meeting or visit a supplier for which you will need childcare for your children. Try to also outsource as much household work as you can so you can give more time to your children and significant other, or your dating life.

Try to train your focus to be present in the moment and not the future.

Even though both your children and business are very sensitive and delicate you need to give attention to one of them at a time. Keeping your focus elsewhere will cost you as a mother and a businesswoman. Entrepreneurial mothers are often very protective of their “me time.” They try to take out a fraction of time for themselves where they can focus on their own well being.

These mothers are often very protective of their quality time. They realise that they too need a break once in a while.

Most importantly, working mums always make sure to cut out toxic people from their lives. These are the people who not only refuse to believe in them but also fail to support them. These mothers realise that what they are doing is already tough; they don’t need someone else telling them it is impossible.

The Big Switch

You are in control...........

When it comes to setting up your very own business, deciding which property to set it up at is just one side of the picture; the other side is how are you going to get access to that property.

Decide whether you should go ahead and just buy the commercial real estate or opt to lease. Research done on the current situation of the job market dictates that many millennials wish to start their own business rather than work for someone else. In fact, not only the millennials, but people of the previous generation are also shifting towards starting their own business.

Almost every other person you speak to about what they are doing or what they are planning for the future, will tell you that they are working towards opening their own business, soon.

TRY THESE HELPFUL TIPS TO BE ABLE Managing one’s time, deciding on what to prioritise, and planning accordingly can be one of the toughest things to do. It is an art, a skill that you need to acquire. There are things that you face during the day that demand your constant attention, which can result in difficulty when prioritising what should be done first. It is important to realise that priorities can change rapidly and you need to be able to re-evaluate situations and respond appropriately.

Excessive work and pressure are now considered to be status symbols. But over time it can be very detrimental, to the person and the stakeholders around them. If we work less it is possible that we would make less errors and have a better quality of life. Tired surgeons are often much more prone to slip-ups, and exhausted soldiers to more missed targets. You need to learn to prioritise your work according to importance so that you work less and enjoy your life more, all the while keeping room for accomplishment.

Prioritising should not be that difficult, once you set up your mind to start prioritising you will immediately get the hang of it. Here are some tips to help you out:

Know exactly what your work is: Draw up a list of everything you want to do, along with the deadlines that you have. Don’t rely on your memory, instead write it down. This will help you retain the idea; also the act of writing forces you to ask yourself which task is more important.

vnm magazine 016

TO PRIORITISE AND WORK LESS Know exactly what your work is.

Break it down Once you have written down all that you have to do, you will start to categorise your worklist into the following terms:

Single Tasks These are the tasks that you do tomorrow or when you have ample time at the office after your important tasks are done. If you have tasks that have a longer deadline then you need to schedule them for tomorrow. Eventually, when you make such a list, you will discover that you have now created a backlog. This backlog will contain all the single tasks that don’t need to be done urgently. Each day you should chip away at each task.

Recurring Tasks There are certain tasks that are bound to occur every single day. You do not need to list them down unless you find it extremely necessary. You can create a list of weekly tasks for yourself to do and tick them off as you work on them.

Projects These are the tasks that you consider to be the most complex or time-consuming. List them according to the urgency and work on them daily as long as needed.

Assess tasks according to urgency, value and estimated effort Work on the tasks that hold the shortest deadlines, are the most valuable to the business and require maximum levels of effort. This will be the work holding highest priority for you and you need to complete first

Give yourself a break This is very important. Take 5 to 10 minute breaks between your work so you don’t get drained and commit unnecessary errors. Prioritising can do wonders in helping cut back unneeded work. It will prevent you from employing extra efforts and allow you to save more time.
